Please use the following questions to guide your research on the topic of modern slavery and human trafficking. For any question involving a statistic, be sure to cite your source. Please carefully consider and respond to the following questions on a separate sheet of paper. Questions: 1. What is the estimated number of slaves trafficked into the United States each year? 2. What percentage of victims of trafficking are women and girls? 3. What is the average age that a person becomes a victim of sex trafficking? 4. How many children are estimated to be in the commercial sex trade worldwide? 5. After reading definitions or descriptions of “human trafficking” from the internet resources provided on Modern Slavery Resource List, define the term in your own words. 6. Who is particularly vulnerable to enslavement? What makes these individuals vulnerable? 7. Name four areas of work that tend to violate the rights of workers by placing them in conditions of slavery. (Example: domestic work.) 8. Why might it be difficult for an enslaved person to walk away from his/her situation? 9. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center website lists three important differences between traditional slavery and modern-day slavery. Name and explain these differences. 10. What is the difference between human trafficking and human smuggling? 11. What warning signs can you watch for to detect someone who may be in slavery? 12. Go to the Free the Children website and watch the video on the homepage. After viewing this video, do you feel that you have the ability to effect change with regard to slavery? 13. What kinds of things can you do to make these kinds of changes? (Many of the recommended websites offer suggestions.)
